This dish tastes AMAZING and youâll be doing a HUGE favor to your gut and metabolism. [Dr. Steven Gundry | Founder, Gundry MD]( {NAME}, if you ask me â thereâs nothing better than a savory plate of spaghetti. Thereâs just one problem. Most spaghetti recipes are a sure-fire way to wind up with uncomfortable digestion, low energy, and excess weight gain. Because theyâre complete lectin bombs. The good news is, with a few clever tweaks⦠A mouthwatering plate of spaghetti can actually SUPPORT your health. Just avoid these 3 gut-destroying âspaghetti mistakes.â (And Iâll give you a delicious, health-BOOSTING spaghetti recipe you can make at home too.)
 Spaghetti Swap #1:
Lose The Jarred Sauce â Do THIS Instead
If youâve read my newsletter for a while, youâll know tomatoes are PACKED with lectins. But that doesnât mean you need to give up tomato sauce. You see, almost all the lectins in a tomato are in the seeds and the peel⦠So if you buy seedless and pre-peeled tomatoes â you've got a delicious treat! (If you want a simple way to peel a tomato at home, just soak it in ice water for a few minutes. The peel will come off so easily, you can remove it with your fingers!) Once youâve got your peeled and deseeded tomatoes, use the recipe below to make a delectable sauce.
 Spaghetti Swap #2:
Ditch The Grain-Based Noodles
Unfortunately, most store-bought spaghetti noodles are also loaded with lectins. But there are a number of easy, gut-friendly swaps you can make. A great option is shirataki noodles â AKA âMiracle Noodlesâ or konjac noodles. Theyâre packed with high-quality fiber your gut buddies love⦠And you can find them in plenty of health food stores. But my favorite option is sorghum noodles. Sorghum noodles will give you a great dose of healthy fiber, polyphenols, B vitamins, plant-based protein, and magnesium. (Crucial building blocks most people are deficient in.) Best of all, sorghum noodles are becoming quite common in health food stores â so finding them should be easy as pie.
 Spaghetti Swap #3:
Swap Out Harmful Parmesan Cheese For THIS
While I love parmesan cheese⦠Most parmesan in the U.S. contain a harmful protein called âcasein A1â which can wreak havoc on your digestive system. If you want authentic parmesan WITHOUT this harmful protein⦠I recommend genuine parmigiano reggiano, which by law has to be imported from Italy. Now, that can be kind of hard to find⦠So you can also swap your parmesan for pecorino romano. This cheese is not only free of casein A1⦠It also contains MCTs â healthy fats that actually support smooth digestion and a healthy weight. (It's just a little saltier than parmesan, so be sure to adjust your seasoning!) With these 3 simple swaps, spaghetti becomes a health-boosting dish you can enjoy guilt-free. And to make things even easier, hereâs a delicious recipe that takes just a few minutes to whip up.
